I had a small space in the garage that needed to be converted into a laundry room so I decided to take this little man. I usually use a nail hammer, but for a small project like this I decided to give this hammer a try. He swings very well and hammers 16 like a champ. Honestly it's not that hard on hand. The grip is pretty good, but I've found it to wear out with prolonged use, but for my purposes it's a good tool to have in my arsenal.
